April 2023: Practical posts on skin care, head injury effects, and blood pressure in cancer
This month we published three short, practical reads that many people will find useful. One explains how calcipotriene helps skin health and how to use it safely. Another looks at how head surgery or trauma can change daily routines and bladder habits. The third covers azilsartan as an option for treating high blood pressure in cancer patients. Below are the key takeaways and immediate steps you can act on.
Calcipotriene and everyday skin care
Calcipotriene is a synthetic vitamin D medicine commonly used for psoriasis. If you or someone you care for is starting calcipotriene, expect clearer, less scaly skin over weeks, not overnight. Use only as your doctor prescribes—usually a thin layer on affected areas. Don’t mix it with strong topical steroids unless your dermatologist says so. Keep these simple habits: moisturize after the medicine absorbs, protect treated skin from strong sun, and stop using it if you get severe irritation or swelling. If you notice unusual redness or burning, call your healthcare provider and consider a patch test first on a small area.
Head surgery or trauma: changes in daily life and bladder control
Head injuries and brain surgery can affect balance, thinking, mood—and bladder control. People might have urgency, leaking, or trouble starting and stopping urine. The first step is tracking: keep a short diary of fluid intake, bathroom times, and leaks for a week. Share that with your care team. Simple fixes often help: scheduled bathroom breaks, pelvic-floor exercises guided by a physiotherapist, and adjusting medications that dry you out or affect nerves. If problems persist, ask for a urology or neurorehabilitation referral. For safety at home, reduce trip hazards, use night lights, and keep frequently used items within reach.
Both caregivers and patients benefit from small routine changes: set alarms to drink and void at regular times, use absorbent products temporarily if needed, and keep a list of symptoms to discuss at appointments. Quick documentation makes specialist referrals faster and treatment choices clearer.
Azilsartan as a blood pressure option in cancer care
Some cancer treatments raise blood pressure. Azilsartan is an angiotensin receptor blocker doctors may choose for managing high blood pressure in that setting. If your oncologist or cardiologist recommends azilsartan, expect monitoring of blood pressure, kidney tests, and potassium levels during the first weeks. Start low and report dizziness, lightheadedness, or swelling. Coordinate care: tell both your oncologist and primary care doctor about any new blood pressure drug so they can watch for interactions with cancer medicines.
What you can do now: keep a home blood pressure log, bring medication lists to every visit, and speak up about side effects. Small, clear records speed up safe decisions.

As a skincare enthusiast, I've recently come across the benefits of Calcipotriene in maintaining healthy skin. Calcipotriene, a form of synthetic Vitamin D, is known to regulate skin cell growth and reduce inflammation. It's commonly used to treat psoriasis, but it can also benefit overall skin health. To incorporate Calcipotriene into your skincare routine, consult with a dermatologist for the appropriate dosage and application. Remember, combining this with other essential skincare practices, like moisturizing and sun protection, will ensure your skin remains healthy and radiant.

I recently came across some information on the impact of head surgery or trauma on daily life and urinary habits. It turns out that such events can seriously affect a person's ability to carry out everyday tasks and even disrupt their normal urinary patterns. This is mainly due to damage to the brain's control center for these functions. As a result, people may experience incontinence or difficulty in controlling their bladder. It's important to raise awareness about this issue, as it can significantly impact the quality of life for those affected.

As a blogger, I recently came across an interesting topic regarding the role of Azilsartan in treating hypertension in cancer patients. Azilsartan, an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), has shown promising results in managing high blood pressure in these patients. This is especially important because cancer patients often experience hypertension as a side effect of their treatments. Incorporating Azilsartan in their medication regimen can potentially improve their quality of life and overall health. It's truly fascinating to see how modern medicine continues to evolve and find innovative ways to tackle complex health issues.
